    Jul 2 2024
    For the past five years, this podcast has shared the stories of young men whose lives have been altered by mental health challenges and suicide.

  • Rebuilding From Rock Bottom | Dave Menner

    Rebuilding From Rock Bottom | Dave Menner
    Jun 24 2024

    Sitting alone in a half built dream house after his marriage breakdown, trying to keep his business as a builder afloat during Covid, while managing co-parenting - Dave was thinking to himself, how had it all come to this?

    A middle child with a chip on his shoulder, Dave was always trying to prove people wrong and do it all.

    That mentality led him to overcommit and under deliver, crushing his identity in the process.

    This is the story of a bloke who had it all planned out at 30, and yet is living a very different reality at 40…after a lot of self reflection, he’s admitted his mistakes, learned some hard lessons, and ultimately changed for the better.

    This is Dave Menner’s story...

  • The Surprising Truth About Sleep | Professor Michael Gradisar

    The Surprising Truth About Sleep | Professor Michael Gradisar
    Jun 18 2024

    Quality sleep is the top of the waterfall from which all of our health flows. Better sleep equals better everything else, and whether you've got waking woes, or you're happy with how you're laying your head, there's simple things we can all do to make tonight's sleep the best yet.

    My New Years resolution for 2024 was to improve my sleep performance. I use wearable a sleep tracker, a consistent early bed time, blue light blocking glasses, ear plugs, the works and I still have a hard time getting a true eight hours.

    Fortunately for me and you, today's guest on the Young Blood Experts Series is internationally renowned sleep expert, Professor Michael Gradisar.

    Michael worked for twenty years as a clinical psychologist, directing Adelaide's Child and Adolescent Sleep. These days he helps people treat insomnia and adjust their circadian rhythms online and is the Head of Sleep Science at 'Sleep Cycle'; a one-stop solution sleep tracker with 50 million users worldwide.

    This episode features good news for gamers, why playing Call of Duty before bed isn’t as bad for sleep as you might’ve thought... Find out how much shut eye you really need, the difference it makes if you’re not getting enough, is mouth tape all hype? and are you a good judge of your own sleep quality? Listen all the way through this one to find out all that and more with our sleep guru, Professor Michael Gradisar.
